Home entertainment trendsetters Netflix Inc. and TiVo Inc. are finally joining forces to deliver more movies and old TV episodes to their mutual subscribers, consummating a relationship that was supposed to come together four years ago.

TiVo Inc. posted a quarterly profit for only the third time in its 11-year history Wednesday as the pioneer in digital video recorders continued to improve hardware margins and shift marketing costs to partners.

TiVo CEO Tom Rogers told analysts on Wednesday that the DVR pioneer is "well on our way to our first profitable year" as cost cuts and new alliances with technology, entertainment and ad companies help offset its subscription losses.
